The physics of wind-blown sand and dust
JF Kok, EJR Parteli, TI Michaels… - Reports on progress in …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
The transport of sand and dust by wind is a potent erosional force, creates sand dunes and
ripples, and loads the atmosphere with suspended dust aerosols. This paper presents an …

A scaling theory for the size distribution of emitted dust aerosols suggests climate models underestimate the size of the global dust cycle
JF Kok - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
Mineral dust aerosols impact Earth's radiation budget through interactions with clouds,
ecosystems, and radiation, which constitutes a substantial uncertainty in understanding past …

Plato's cube and the natural geometry of fragmentation
Plato envisioned Earth's building blocks as cubes, a shape rarely found in nature. The solar
system is littered, however, with distorted polyhedra—shards of rock and ice produced by …
